The Influence of Teacher Self-Efficacy on Technology Integration

Abstract As teachers strive to reinforce 21st century skills in today’s classrooms, successful technology integration has become an area of increasing interest in educational research (Beech, VanOverbeke, & Bonnstetter, 2009; Carter, 2008).While external first-order barriers such as availability of computers and access to the Internet are no longer common obstacles as compared to previous decades, internal second-order barriers including teacher anxiety and teacher self-efficacy still present a major area of concern for successful technology integration in the…show more content…

This study will attempt to provide a better understanding of how teacher self-efficacy (1) affects technology implementation and (2) to what degree impacts successful technology integration. The findings of this study will provide school administrators valuable insight needed to address the concerns and fears of teachers as they integrate technology into their classroom instruction.
Theoretical Framework
Mechanisms such as achievements, influences, and individual standards were found to be sources of motivation for educators (Bandura, 1986).

Unpredictable requests and those that are deemed to be beyond one’s control can lead to frustration and a negative view of one’s potential.
